 The E. s. Wheeler Case.
 MT. E. s. Wheeler, when interviewed by a Hartford Courant reporter this week, was asked where the money had gone, and he said it went into the wire mill, which had been burned and rebuilt once and was 8 heavy expense, although recently it had turned the corner and b gan to be profitable He said it had cleared $300O0 this year and things were all beginning to look better when the tight money market came and broke him.
 He said he had been peculiarly and unfor- tunateIx placed since the failure. In the absence of trustee he had staid at his office steadily every day, not even going home at noon, so as to be on hand to answer ques- tions and to give his personal attention to matters. This had prevented him from, for in stance, going to Hartford, where an explana- tion from him might have caused better feeling toward him.. He said his books would show what had become of the money and that investigation of them was what he wanted.
 The Wire company owed E. s. Wheeler & Go. $260, ,000 and he owned also $40, 900 of it's stock. If the Wire company could be put in at cost it and E. S. Wheeler & Co.,, he said, would both be solvent. He said that his desire was to take the business of E. S. Wheeler & Co.,, which has recently been handsomely profitable, and carry it on for the benefit of the creditors so as to pay them in full. His plan, if it could be carried out, would be for the creditors to have repre- sentative in the concern who would handle all the money, and he (Mr. Wheeler) would carry on the business without the fearful pressure of the interest account. He was confident that if this could be arranged he would pay off every dollar of indebtedness
 Many of the stories that have been circu- lated about him, MT. Wheeler says, are with ont foundation, and to the extent that he has been condemned by them he has not been fairly judged; that he has made business mistakes, but that there has been nothing dishonorable in what he has done.
